Microsoft on Wednesday announced a trio of new Lumia smartphones during its Windows 10 hardware event, tackling the entry-level space with the new Lumia 550 and the high-end market with a pair of flagships. Most of what we learned today had already been leaked by Microsoft although there were a few surprises still in store.

I hope AT&T will not be the only carrier that gets these devices. Currently, I am with T-mobile and I have been waiting for a quality Windows device to be released. I have been a huge fan of windows phones when I used to rock a HD 2.

Good to see that they are bringing some glory back to the Windows mobile market.

The most impressive aspect of the Lumia 550 is its price – just $139 contract-free. Look for it to arrive in select European markets in December with additional markets to follow.

if marketed in the Philippines, this will go vs cherry mobile android one LTE version, priced in the Philippines about 5999php (Philippine pesos); with 16gb internal storage, snapdragon 410 soc.
as usual, what the heck is Microsoft thinking releasing a not so competitive low cost model with 'meager specs' compared to the android competition?

Nice devices no doubt (apart from that overpriced budget offering) but I doubt they'll change M$'s ~2% global mobile market share. They are always gonna be bit players in the greater scheme of things for the foreseeable future.
